[jboss-jira] [JBoss JIRA] Commented: (JBPORTAL-2290) Enter key doesn't trigger the same action in IE6/7 and FIREFOX

Andy Pemberton commented on JBPORTAL-2290:
------------------------------------------

This looks like a fairly well-known Internet Explorer issue related to submitting forms with the enter button when only one input is present in the form.

See:

I checked IE8 and this still appears to be an issue. One easy, though not totally satisfying workaround, is to include a dummy input in the necessary forms/facelets templates (tested on editPage.xhtml):

<!--[if IE]> <input type="text" style="display:none;" disabled="disabled" /> <![endif]-->

Another nice way to solve this would be to conditionally comment in a javascript file that fixes this and other IE specific issues dynamically.

> when I set the name of a "component" to input box and I want to create the "component", in FF only pressing enter key is sufficient, but in IE6 (and IE7) I have to press the "create button" - only pressing the enter key just refresh the page and does nothing at all.
> I have found this inconsistency in many parts of portal GUI... i.e.:
> "Create a consumer named" in WSRP interface
> "Create a portal named" in Portal Objects interface
> "Create a page named" in Portal Objects interface
